Weight Loss Journey

This is my first post about my weight loss journey. I started The Belly Fat Cure by Jorge Cruise on August 1st. I weighed 228.8lb. I weigh myself every morning before I eat. On Sundays I average my weight in the last 7 days and that is my weight for the week. My weight today is 207.4lb. I've been losing between 4-5 pounds a week. The BFC is an eating plan that I could live with for the rest of my life.

My Dad's entire family has issues with diabetes so this plan has been a step in the direction of me NOT having to take insulin.

I've noticed a decrease in my stomach as well. My waist has decreased 2". I also have a lot energy and feel great!

The one thing I have not adhered to from the book, is that I still use Splenda and I drink a few things with Aspertame in them.

I will say that I have not eaten all of my sugars except for one day, and I'll get to that. I have also done very well with my 6 carbs except that day too. This plan has been amazing for my self esteem as well as my health.

The one day...well, I made potato soup. And I ate a lot. The bad side is that I gained a couple pounds for 2 days, and that I was massively bloated and uncomfortable. The good side is that I gained a couple pounds for 2 days, and that I was massively bloated and uncomfortable. :-) I will remember how miserable I was for those 2 days. And when I think about binging or overindulging again, I just think about those 2 painful days.

My plan is to post every day. But I will definitely be posting on a weekly basis. Probably on Sundays as that's my weekly weigh in.

Thanks to everyone who reads this. And feel free to comment or ask any questions. The Belly Fat Cure by Jorge Cruise was the best $10 I ever spent
